Holga Roll 4

Photos from my fourth roll of film taken with my Holga:

Frames 6 and 7 - Pumpkins and Clouds

Frames 10 and 11 - Buckwheat and Waves (at Its Beach)

Frames 12 and 14 - Scenes at Its Beach

Frame 13 - C and B at Its Beach

I feel closer with this roll . . . And I'm excited to try some new film.  I just finished my last roll of Fuji color film (ISO 400).  I still have a roll of Kodak color film (ISO 100) and some Ilford HP5 black and white film (ISO 400) to go through but I'm definitely going to look into trying some other varieties soon, too.  Here's to film!    

Thanksgiving 2012

This Thanksgiving my in-laws came down and we cooked a little feast in our condo.  There was all the traditional Thanksgiving fare, a table filled by people I love, good cheer and great conversation.  And we topped it all off with some paper crowns!  Also a delicious oliallieberry pie from the Buttery (not pictured).  I missed my parents and sisters but felt very thankful to have C's parents there to help us celebrate our first Thanksgiving in our new home (and our first Thanksgiving with the newest member of the Nelson "pack", Mr. Buckwheat).  I was primarily responsible for the cranberries (a first for me) and the salad (roasted beets, goat cheese and pistachios over baby greens--a fall and winter favorite of ours).  Here are some iPhone captures from the day.  I hope everyone had a very happy Turkey Day!

A grocery cart full of Thanksgiving!

Brussels Sprouts: A Nelson Family Favorite

Stuffing is probably my favorite part of Thanksgiving (or at least my favorite part of the Thanksgiving food)

C and the Turkey

Our Thanksgiving table and my Thanksgiving salad

Pretty pleased with my first attempt at cranberry sauce

The Meal!

A Nelson Thanksgiving!

Thankful.

Post Turkey.

Even Buckwheat got some Turkey (and for several days)!

Over the holiday, I realized how much I missed taking photos with my Digital SLR.  I've been depending on my iPhone for photo taking lately because I'm currently in the process of purchasing some new equipment.  Non-iPhone photos to come shortly (hopefully within the next week or two).  In the meantime, I have some other stuff to share.  Promise! 

I Miss . . .

I miss light the in the evenings.  I miss evenings like these:

Dark nights feel cozy when it's cold and rainy out.  But when it's sunny, I just want to take Buckwheat to beach and let him run around like a nut ball!
